Sept. 4 ó To the Editor:

Chris Pappas leads with his values. In six years on the Executive Council, he has restored Planned Parenthood funding for 13,000 Granite Staters and expanded Medicare to another 53,000. Thatís not bluster or big ideas without follow through.

Year after year, Chris has sat across Republicans and found a way forward on progressive issues. He knows that the way to reach consensus is to build relationships, make a strong case for your position, and find common ground.

With the Trump Administration stripping protections for women across the board, I fear for a future with limited access to contraception, a Supreme Court that ends Roe v Wade, and government intent on being involved in womenís health care decisions.

We need a member of Congress who knows exactly how to roll up their sleeves and get results, even in difficult circumstances.

I know Chris Pappas will be a champion on womenís reproductive rights because e always has been. He has a 100 percent pro-choice voting record, he restored funding for Planned Parenthood, and he is making the Title X fight an issue in his campaign when nobody else in this race has.

With Chris Pappas, the people he serves and the issues we care about are always at the front of his mind and at the center of his campaigns. We would be lucky to have a representative like Chris down in Washington fighting for us.
